The club started life as the Westland and Weston District Model
Flying Club that had been in existence for many years and was
originated by the staff at Westland Helicopters on Winterstoke
Rd, Weston Super Mare. We have approximately 70 members each
season and fly both fixed wing powered aircraft and
helicopters, either by i.c. or electric power. It's all Radio Control, we don't do control-line or free flight.

Our members come from a wide cross section of the local community including
young people, unemployed, retired and disabled people within
Weston Super Mare and surrounding areas.

Amongst the club members are instructors willing to train
beginners in flying and safety aspects of model flying up to a
standard where the pupil can be assessed by a Club BMFA
examiner and gain an "A" certificate to allow them to fly
without the supervision of an experienced pilot. The newly
qualified pilot is then encouraged to progress and gain higher
qualifications, which will then allow the pilot to fly in
competitions and at public events.

What we do

Have fun mainly! Safety is taken seriously of course, but it is
all done within a friendly atmosphere with co-operation the
norm, and a minimum of rules.
